New user of Ant: Using ant 1.4.1 to compile java code,
with SDK 1.4.2_06

Two of the projects I deliver were recently named with a '.' in the
pathname
e.g. /vob/MyVob/SubSystems/Special
Project/SpecialProject.ExportedServices/,
and the javac call now fails to include the java code, at least with
the syntax as below:.

<javac srcdir="M:\MyView\MyVob\SubSystems\Special Project" >
<includes name="SpecialProject.ExportedServices/**/*.java" />
</javac>

The file scanner syntax that works for other projects seems to skip
over these files.
Question: Are there special characters or pattern rules or limitations
not mentioned
in the Ant ref that the filescanner responds to?
Are there escape characters I can use that would allow the '.' ?
Or do I prevail on programmers not to use blanks or dots in the
pathname ?

Thanks,
Dave
